16 Reasons Why Your Single Years Are The Best Years

Do you wake up in the morning with no fear of missing an anniversary or the birthday of your special someone? Do you sit and beat people at Candy Crush while your friends are out taking forced selfies with their boyfriends/girlfriends? If you have said yes to any of these, you are in this crazy phase of your life called "singledom." Don’t get me wrong, relationships are awesome — but being single has it’s own share of "awesomeness" too!

1. You don’t have to face the awkward show of love.

2. You get to laugh and joke at the PDA of other couples.

Ewww...

3. You don’t have to bear nicknames like this.

Moon? Do I look that round and vampire white?

4. You can get piss drunk without answering anyone.

Weeee…. I’m flying.

5. You can watch any movie you want because...

...nobody will be complaining about it.

6. You can save money like crazy.

No buying fancy gifts and lovey-dovey stuff.

7. You can eat like this.

And be like this: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

8. After a tiring day at work, you don’t have to be glued to your phone for hours.

9. You are now at the consoling end of friends during break-ups.

Not the other way round.

10. You don’t have to remember dates for your anniversary, first kiss, first this, first that.

Or buy gifts for those special days.

11. You can eat your food without sharing.

And making the other person believe how genuinely nice and polite you are.

12. You enjoy life without having an attention-seeking baby (read: your partner) hovering around you or calling you incessantly.

13. You can check out and meet new people.

And the good news is you can even ask them out on a date if you want to!

14. You can plan some alone time things for yourself without being answerable to anyone.

Probably take that solo trip that you never could.

15. You have more time for your parents.

… and friends.

16. But the best thing is that you get to be a free soul and enjoy the hell out of your life until you do meet that special someone.

Yes, I'm single and you'll have to be AMAZING to change that!!!!!

So, keep calm and enjoy singledom. 😀

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
